For some reason I can’t help but be reminded of early ZAO (The Splinter Shards…. era) and that’s a definite good thing. Check out this independent release below. Continued →

Chad Johnson has been responsible for discovering so many wonderful bands/artists from his times at his own self-run record label Takehold Records all the way up to his time as A&R Director at one of the biggest independent labels of our time, Tooth & Nail Records (along with Solid State, and BEC). Not only that but Chad took a huge risk and started a ministry called “Come and Live” which has been instrumental in helping to share the love of Christ with people all across the world.

ZAP Records has just released this new 3 song ep from eccentric noise-punk band called Dystopian Futures. It’s like some strange mix of Blenderhead “Muchacho Vivo” (album), Fugazi, The Locust, Sonic Youth, Frodus, Don’t Know, Showbread, Roadside Monument, and kazoo punk rock (seriously!). Through all the noise and advant-garde weirdness, there is this strange punk rock calling to my soul. I’m not usually a fan of the extremely indie noise punk stuff, not knocking it just stating that it doesn’t necessarily end up in playlists but I’m feeling the music here. Go give “Fear” a listen and support ZAP Records. The Ep is available on Tape here and Digital (listen below). Continued →

You really need to check out this debut solo acoustic punk recording from Call to Glory and The Heroes frontman, Chris Jones.

Raging metalcore act, DIRE has released their third single off of their upcoming EP, Depths. The track is called “Beyond Reach”. The track is brutal! But that’s no surprise; DIRE always brings the heavy with their music and message. Another thing, it would appear that DIRE has a new member (or maybe an old one) in the midst of their lineup. Former Guitarist Kyle Robinson has rejoined the band. Keep that in mind when you check out this new track and the other two that came out.
